Roofe

[David Mckean]

Out for a few weeks with a calf problem! Waiting on scan results

 

[snoopyboymason]

Is anyone surprised

 

[CoopBlue]

F.uck sake.

The one player who has actually improved us as well

 

[JedBartlet]

Isn't this the problem he had at Anderlecht?

 

[Coda]

The slight concern is this is the warning we had from Leeds fans. Cracking player, but just can’t seem to get over this chronic calf problem.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Surprise surprise.

Few injury issues over the last few years, calf especially.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Isn't this the problem he had at Anderlecht?

And Leeds.

 

[NDC bear forever]

So frustrating getting lied to. Just say your unsure ffs

 

[The Golden God]

Sounds about right.

Never rain, it pours eh.

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

hes a sick note every club hes been at. he will be out injured more times than he plays for us.

 

[FollowNearAndFar]

The constant stringing the fans along with remarks in press conferences regarding players fitness is becoming very tedious.

 

[DarthVader]

hes a sick note every club hes been at. he will be out injured more times than he plays for us.

You’re a shining ray of positivity.

 

[Jelle1880]

hes a sick note every club hes been at. he will be out injured more times than he plays for us.

123 games played at Leeds and Anderlecht but I guess you're right.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Oh shit.

 

[Coplandbear]

Out for a few weeks with a calf problem! Waiting on scan results

So much for he was fine eh

 

[Topps]

The good news continues ffs. Our injuries so far this season have been incredibly unlucky. We will have half a team for the taig game the way this is going.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

We know about his previous injury problems.

Why the %^*& did we play him on that surface against a team we were likely to dispose of comfortably anyway in a competition that shouldn't be at the forefront of our priorities?

 

[ICA_86]

I got grief on here for suggesting that we play a heavily rotated team against Imps on that surface.

Looking like a ridiculous decision to play Roofe on that surface given his recent injury problems.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

He just had to play against a bunch of part-time Gibraltarian's on a plastic pitch.

There's no way we could have won that game with a bit of rotation.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

Surprise surprise Gerrard talking pish again after the game in Gibraltar.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Then time to get back up to speed. Won't see the best of him till turn of the year!

 

[si72]

So much being ok for today.It never ends.

 

[CoulibalyLoyal]

We cannot sell Alfie this window regardless of the offer that comes in then.

 

[GEODGC]

Where’s this from?

 

[DoubleWhopper]

If we want to at least attempt to win the league this season, we're better off losing to Willem.

I don't care how many points we did or didnt drop after group games last season. We can't afford to give to hoots about Europe in a season where we need to win the league.

 

[KL2]

Sounds about right.

Our injuries to start this season have been a disaster.

 

[Talktalk]

The good news continues ffs. Our injuries so far this season have been incredibly unlucky. We will have half a team for the taig game the way this is going.

Is it unlucky or have we changed training mode that is contributing to the list of similar players being out ?

 

[The Underfaker]

The constant stringing the fans along with remarks in press conferences regarding players fitness is becoming very tedious.

Hello Doctor.

Prey tell.

 

[Empire]

As much as I’m a fan of Roofe, I think there is a touch of Daniel Sturridge about him. Slightest bit of something not right, he’s not wanting to play.

Gerrard said he was fine to be involved today on Friday but Roofe had to be signed off by Physios. Second he does he’s off for a scan and out for a few weeks at least.

 

[Topps]

Is it unlucky or have we changed training mode that is contributing to the list of similar players being out ?

Well thats a big possibility considering most of our injuries were not even from tackles.

Makes sense, go out of Europe and lose millions in revenue because of this unsubstantiated idea it gives us a better chance in the league.

I could go on if you like?

 

[Jelle1880]

Gerrard's post match interview mentioned it, but he said he's been sent for a scan and will be missing for a bit. No idea where OP's 'few weeks' comes from.

 

[Michael Mols]

injury prone player in being injured shocker.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I'm not sure if you want a formal study comissioned....

But its not really that difficult to understand the concept that you are very likely to be in better shape for a Weekend when you havent played on a Thursday isnt it ? Including 3 of them abroad?

If we want Millions in revenue we could try thinking about the Champions League. We'll never qualify for that by being perenial scottish runners up btw, even with 2 places for the league.

 

[Craig McColl]

123 games played at Leeds and Anderlecht but I guess you're right.

He played 13 times for Anderlecht. He's had calf issues consistently throughout his career. Some did say he was a risk with injuries.

 

[Davester]

I know players get injured all the time, but injury prone players coming here? Plastic pitches, ploughed fields, hammer throwers, "lenient" refs. Your injury record ain't improving up here!

 

[teddy_bears]

Brilliant then another month getting up to speed. Why we sign injury prone players I will never know, and people want to sign zunga who has played 159 games his whole career, what was it they wanted for him again 4.5million and we were willing to pay that as well, utter madness

 

[Dave_1872_9]

Getting beyond a joke. Not panicking over result, but our injury’s are a major problem and new signings are struggling to make an impact, and I know there just in the door but roofe’s calf problems are a worry, Itten might take a long time to settle and Hagi is a quality player in flashes but we need more from him. Those 3 players cost us 10m.

The same was said of Balogun too.
